[Insight-developers] ITK with Python wrapping yielding build error on gcc 2.95.4 (Debian 3.0)

[Luis Ibanez]

Charl,

We could actually name this namespace in any other way.

The symbol is used only when defining Images with pixel
types that are vectors. We could simply call it "itkvector"
and replace the correspoinding lines on the following
instantiations of the itk::Image<>

Could you plese give it a try to this change and let us
know how it goes ?


   Thanks


     Luis
